Berlin's Wound: Photography Along the Former Berlin Wall In-Person
Third-five years after the demise of the Berlin Wall, Photographer Laura Krauss set out to discover what happened to this earth-bound landmark. Would it be hidden, paved over, and reforested, evident only in history books. Or would it be treated as an open sore, still painful for those who lived through that infamous period of time? Or would it be honored as a healing scar for present and future generations?
During the four months of Berlin’s 2023-24 winter, Laura Krauss traced, on foot, the former defensive fences of the Berlin Wall (12-13 August 1961 until 9 November 1989). Using the circular Berliner Mauerweg, the developed foot/bike path, she entered a walking meditation space.
Along the 100-mile journey, Laura Krauss captured images - with her Nikon N80 camera utilizing analogue black/white film and colored images with her iPhone 11. The collection has been curated down with twenty enlargements in black and white and in color with small images to reenact the long journey.
This collection of photographs is part of the artist’s interest in documenting cultural items precious to a community. Laura Krauss’ homebase is Pasadena, California.
